May not think so with all the weapons Cowboys have on offense but Gallup is a guy who has had big games against Giants the last couple of years. His absence could be big,as the Giants can play tighter coverage on Lamb and Cooper. Of course it will come down to how they contain Elliot and Dak's ability to scramble and extend plays, but Gallup is a big loss for them
His numbers:
6 games, 21 catches 368 yards and 1 TD
average of: 3.5 catches for 61 yards and .15 TDs
He had over 5 catches and/or 100 yards once - in 2019.
I think they will survive.
Cee Dee Lamb is a home run guy, he can take a 2 yard screen and go the distance but he has a lot more room to operate because of cooper
2. Contain the TEs over the middle
3. Get to Dak early and often
Fucking Blake Jarwin.
Wilson hasn't just flashed.
During his tenure with Dallas whenever he has been on the field he has produced. His problem has been injury and Gallup.
Next year Dallas will let Gallup go and sign Wilson as his cheaper replacement.
Fucking Blake Jarwin.
Yup
Fucking Blake Jarwin.
I think the more accurate answer to this is Zeke and Pollard. They're averaging 5.3 ypc, best in the NFL, and 165 yards per game, 2nd best.
Pollard is running great this year, almost no drop off from Elliott.
This is a team that pounds the running game first and foremost. If the Giants can't stop it, then the WRs and TEs will be a secondary issue.

Of course, and that's the emphasis of my game preview.
But go back and look at what Jarwin has done to us. He scored three touchdowns in one game against the Giants. I think he has scored in every game against the Giants that he has played.
Fucking Blake Jarwin.
Schulz is their new hot target, picked him up in fantasy this week. He’s a better pass catcher than Jarwin.

No shit.
But the back-up TE has killed us against the Cowboys.
Jarwin missed both Giants games in 2020.
But he scored a TE in both Giants games in 2019.
He scored three touchdowns against the Giants in 2018.

#3? How???

I actually think we have the CBs to match up well against Dallas. With Bradberry on Cooper and Jackson on CeeDee... We should even be able to cover the TEs well with Logan Ryan and Xavier, but I still get TE PTSD with Dallas.
To me the real questions to me are can we stop Elliott who has been playing well. We don't look very good stopping the run right now. Plus can we get any pressure and make some big plays on Defense.

if he is hobbled at all becaise of the hamstring that will effect their offense because he takes so much attention..

Right now, McKinney is just a name. He has been anywhere from "not good" to almost downright bad. He's out of position, missing tackles, and making a ton of mistakes in coverage.
In terms of Ryan, he has no business covering any TE in man coverage. He's most effective in that center field role.
Love may actually be the best option out of the safety room to cover any TE right now. Until McKinney comes around, he's just a name on paper...that unit has not been a strength in this area.
The Giants want to play more 2 high man coverage, and they likely view him as a liability there.
If I'm graham I go back to what worked in 2020. Get back to the Cover 3 looks with creative zone drops. Holmes is better there, and it frees up how you can use guys like McKinney and Love. We'll see.
You're just not getting it.
And it just wasn't two years ago.

New DC in town. Obviously he’s a threat considering our history but I’d be way more concerned with Schulz. That dude is electric for a TE. Either way that side of the ball isn’t winning us this game unless they can come up with turnovers. It’s the only real way you can stop that offense because it’s so balanced. It’s not like we have elite pieces all over this defense.
You're just not getting it.

Not getting what? That Jarwin had success 2 and 3 years ago and we’ve constantly sucked against TEs? I just think Schulz needs to be the higher priority for obvious reasons. And yeh Jarwin has a good chance of scoring a TD because the Cowboys are so balanced on offense and have talent everywhere. Can’t cover everyone. I’m not expecting the defense to make too many stops in this one, but I’m pretty confident we won’t have much chance if we decide to play two high and let the run game and tight ends kill us. Need to be more aggressive and hopefully get some turnovers and let the offense try to win it. Not sure we see that though.
The Cowboys offense is just a bad matchup for our current defense.
Don't fall asleep against Jarwin.
The difference in a close game is between a FG and a TD.
Jarwin has five touchdowns against the Giants in two seasons. That's Witten like.

Because in my mind that’s what makes the Cowboys offense unreal. They can beat whatever you throw at them and they’ve shown patience to stick with what you are giving them defensively. Against the Bucs they barely ran the ball which was smart. Personally I’m making Lamb and Cooper beat me, make Lamb consistently catch the ball and hopefully your highly paid secondary holds up. I don’t want to see a defensive approach where we leave the offense on the field ten minutes and let the run game and tight ends kill us. I picked up Schulz because he’s going to do damage regardless but Jarwin production is going to be really dependent on what we do schematically. Personally I still think he has a big day because we are favoring two high this year vs Last year was a lot of cover 3.
You're arguing the obvious.

The offense is going to have their way with us. They are just that good offensively. The focus needs to be on tackling and turnovers. Have no problem to see us getting into gamble mode on that side of the ball. Will we see it? Probably not, but that's the way I'd play it. This game is going to have to be won by the offense and trying to creat turnovers on defense.

No, that's not what I'm saying at all.
Holy shit.
Just keep a fucking eye on Jarwin.
Head meet wall.
I think the issue is because they do so many other things well, especially run the ball. With a weak line backing corps the only way the Giants can slow them down is to sell out against the run, which means having the safeties close to the line and shooting the gaps. Inevitably that means the TE will get open, especially on play action.
Now you can tell the safeties to stay back and watch the TE before committing but that half second is all these RBs need to get their 5ypc and gouge is all day long.
It’s a pick your poison situation and why Dallas is going to rack up points. I think if the Giants win this it’ll be because they win the turnover battle and the offense puts up TDs instead of FGs.
Fucking Blake Jarwin.
Or anyone else that lines up at tight end.
2. Contain the TEs over the middle
3. Get to Dak early and often
You're right but this defense hasn't shown the ability to do either no.1 or no.3. And no.2 is an issue as well.
Dak has been getting the ball out fast, he's been working shorter/quicker stuff and the ball is just coming out quick.
I still think the secondary is pretty solid, but they need more juice up front, they don't have enough pass rushers. Next year we'll be shopping for pressure players again. Wish Elerson could get some looks this year.

I agree ... the 3 keys to winning have been our weakest links ... the odds would say the cowturds score 40 on us but every time I think this way, PG comes up with a plan that surprises me.
2. For a guy who was a playmaker at Alabama, McKinney looks clueless.
3. The nose tackle position couldn’t hold the point against a beat up Saints line. How are they going to deal with Dallas?
4. Solder had been getting by needing help from. TE a LOT. If Thomas can’t go, and Peart starts, who do you help? Can’t be both.
I smell major ass kicking all over this one. (Like 38-10) hope I’m totally wrong.
We just have had too many bad drafts and do not have the quality roster that Cowboys have built. You can’t teach talent.
